The shimmery green/blue/purple piece has been sitting on my desk for months, as had the piece of vellum. I had tried to use the vellum on a Christmas card, but the sentiment didn't show up well enough - and the ink smeared when I tried to wipe it off, so I knew I'd have to use it on something where I could cover it up. The daisy panel was stamped this way because I was planning on cutting out the three full daisies to pop them up on another card, and decided against it. The blue fabric peeking out was a similar thing - I thought melting it would produce a better match than it did.

I could probably make another dozen cards with just leftovers...I should probably clean up my desk :)

I'm terrible at using up the leftover bits (or as you call them the nope-doesn't-work-on-this-card bits). I did figure out how to use them up though--I put them in a baggie and give them to a lady in my stamp club. She loves left over bits as she loves the challenge of doing something with them. She also does tons of punch art, so if all else fails she punches up the piece. Anyway, great card! Your leftovers are way cooler than mine anyway. Love that fabric ribbon, fancy schmancy.
